Tell me, can you get canned condensed milk? The sweet, luscious awesome stuff you use to make dulce de leche or just lick out of the can.I'm considering bringing a case up north with me when I come. You know, to bestow upon vegan friends.

this mimicreme or rich whip i would assume is like cool whip type topping stuff, or cream for cooking?

this stuff is sweet, sweet very sweet for drizzling on stuff, i guess. i am not brazilian so don't understand the inherent need to put it in every dessert, but it is pretty damn good in coffee. They make a doce de leite [pre-caramelized version] but i have heard it's horrible. that was years ago though and i haven't seen it since. but i've seen people make doce de leite and Brazilian candies [brigadeiros, beijinhos] with it and it's quite nice.

I would pay some pretty incredible money for tinned vegan sweetened condensed milk. My husband drizzles it on fruit crumble (disgusting but delicious) and I used to boil it in the tins to make toffee/caramel/dulce de leche/whatever you want to call it!

this thread really brings back some great childhood memories :) my mom used condensed milk in many of her desserts... I wonder if slowly cooking down soy milk and sugar, and maybe a little coconut oil would work - like in a low crock pot?

i have been hunting for the last week and cannot find it in any of my usual stores! drat the crummy Brazilian production/distribution chain and things never being constant..... but i have a few hours today before i go, i will be stopping at every grocery store on the way to the airport. snarl!
